month/day/year is American, not British - we use day/month/year, which makes much more sense! Anyhow, the American standared is the default, which is what you say you want.

In the function above, this is the key line: return $posted + $e->time_display($*lang_fmt_date_med + " at %%h%%:%%min%% %%A%%M", "none");

If you've got that line as it is here, you should get:

Oct. 14th 2006 at 12:34am

If you change $*lang_fmt_date_med to $*lang_fmt_date_med_day you should see:

Sat, Oct. 14th 2006 at 12:34am

And if you change it to $*lang_fmt_date_short you should get:

10/14/06 at 12:34am

Which is month/day/year (American style). If you want to reverse this to day/month/year (British and European style), you'd have to do it manually - replace $*lang_fmt_date_med with the following, including the quotes:

"%%d%%/%%m%%/%%yy%%"

The issue falls when I set the default language for LJ to display as german, it changes things to suit how a german individual would expect to see things. It automatically changes the date to day-month-year, even though the code looks exactly the same. I'm guessing that's the *lang bit keying in.

It shows the date for me, though on entries where there is no title it makes the date the title, and then only has the time in the standard date slot.

Sorry, I looked further down your list and I see what your date is showing as. So you want 14th October, 2006 instead of October 14th, 2006? That will also need to be a custom format. Replace $*lang_fmt_date_med with:

I had a look at your journal - I see you entry titles are the date and only the time displays below these. The CSS for .datetime will only affect the time in your journal. If you want to change the size of the entry titles (which are the date in your case because I assume you haven't specified a subject), you need to use:

.asset-name page-header2 {font-size: 16pt; }

Also, the syntax in my original is correct - I tested it on my journal. Better to use pt than px. Line breaks make no difference in CSS. Are you definitely putting it in your Custom CSS section under Edit Journal Style? If you put it there, it should have altered the size of the time in your entries.
